Warnings and Precautions

• Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of any colour of the background light or absence of fever. The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50°F(10°C ) -104°F(40°C). Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below -4°F(-20°C) / or over 131°F(55°C )) or excessive humidity (>95% RH).
• Please consult your physician if the thermometer shows elevated temperature (yellow or red background lights).
• This thermometer must only be used with Disposable Hygiene Caps. To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean Hygiene cap attached.
• If the thermometer is accidentally used without a Hygiene cap attached, clean the lens (see “Care and cleaning” section). Keep Hygiene caps out of reach of children.
• This thermometer is intended for household use only. This product is not intended to diagnose any disease, but is a useful screening tool for temperature. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
• Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
• Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
• Temperature elevation as indicated by Age Precision may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
• neonates and infants under 3 months (consult your doctor immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F or 37.4 °C)
• patients over 60 years of age.
• patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• patients who are bedridden (e.g. nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
• a transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)Fever may be blunted or
  even absent in elderly patients.
• This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to children. Always keep the thermometer out of children’s reach.

How to Use Your Thermometer

When using the thermometer for the first time, please install the batteries.

1. Wear Disposable Hygiene Cap Correctly
   First remove the head cover, put on the hygiene cap tightly , then press the  button to turn on the thermometer.
   Note: If you don’t wear the hygiene cap tightly, the Hygiene cap indicator will blink, you can’t measure the temperature.
2. Age Mode Convertion
   When turned on, press “AGE” button to toggle through each age group.
   1.  Neonate Mode (0-3 months baby) When the screen shows “ ”, it turns to neonate mode;
   2. Baby Mode (3-36 months baby)
      When the screen shows “ ”, it turns to baby mode;
   3. Adult Mode (over 36 months age)
      When the screen shows “ ” , it turns to adult mode.
      Note: You must select an age in order to take a measurement. The default mode is Adult Mode.
3. Time Setting
   When turn on the thermometer, press the “MEM” button for 3 seconds, release the button when the minute digit is flashing. Press the “MEM” button to switch H/M digit when it’s flashing; Press the “AGE” button to set the hour time; The time setting will be finished when press the Measure button or without any operation for 6 seconds.

   

4. Measure the Temperature of Your Ears
   Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal and direct towards opposite temple. Then push and release the Measure button “ ”.
   NOTE: Please be aware of the factors that influence the accuracy as described in the section “Temperature Taking Tips” and “Warnings and Precautions”.
   Always clean the lens before use. Always make sure the user and the thermometer are in the same room for at least 30 minutes before the measurement.
5. Take Room/Object Temperature
   1. When power off, press the MEM button for 3 seconds . The screen will display °F/°C, then release the button, you will hear a beep, and the screen will be into a full display, then it will complete a temperature test after 1 second.
   2. It will be the same as the right picture showed. When the °F/°C is flashing, then it’s ready for testing.
   3. Press the measure button, test the temperature. * When taking Room/Object Temperature,no need to wear Hygiene Cap for measuring.
      

      

6. After the Measurement
   Once the reading has been completed, remove the thermometer away from the ear and observe temperature. After each measurement, you can enter the recall mode and query earlier temperature readings. Do not hold the thermometer for a long time, because it is sensitive to the ambient temperature. After each measurement, clean the temperature probe with a soft cloth, and put the thermometer in a dry and well-ventilated place. It is recommended to wait for 10 seconds between each measurement. It is dangerous to make a self-diagnosis or self-treatment based on the obtained measurement results. For such purposes, please consult a doctor.
7. Read Your Temperature
   “T” indicates a temperatrue reading.
   NOTE: For the next measurement, press the button to remove and discard used hygiene cap, and then put on a new hygiene cap.

Temperature Taking Tips

1. It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal equivalent temperature.
2. Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
3. Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
4. In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5 temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
   • Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
   • Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
   • When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.

Care and Cleaning

1. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children unless supervised.
2. Cleaning the device use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 75% alcohol to clean the thermometer case and the measuring probe.
3. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can take a new measurement (minimum of 10 minutes).
4. Ensure that no water enters the device. If this happens, only use the device again once it has fully dried out.
5. Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
6. Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
7. Remove the batteries from the device before cleaning.
8. Clean the device after use with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If they are very dirty, you can also moisten the cloth with a mild soapy solution.
